Liver swelling or size increasing of liver ? diet in such case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduce fatty diet: The liver detoxifies the body, it has a myriad of physiological functions. A primary function is the emulsification of fats. An inflamed liver will be helped by a diet with less fat. It is not a prescription for liver disease however, and the primary causes of hepatic swelling must be medically diagnosed and treated.
